Harder Up, Saul Down

We walked up to the turn of a board showing {5-Clubs} {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and a pot of about 14,000 in the middle of the table.

On that turn, Kevin Saul slowly checked, and Christian Harder considered carefully before checking it back.

The river came the {7-Hearts}, and Saul checked it again. Harder slid out 9,000, and Saul tanked for about three minutes before making a reluctant call. Harder knew his {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} was good when he turned it over, and he picks up the pot to move to 47,000.

Saul is down to 12,000 here in the early going.
